Thailand with caution, commonly known as the land of smiles, there are too many compliments, and too many nostalgia to stay in this country, people always want to use the shortest possible sentences, or some kind of phenomenon to give this oneself Define the places you have been to or yearn for, and there are a few things that are most talked about, Buddhism, elephants, shemales, and Muay Thai, because in addition to Buddhism and elephants, these things are more or less left in our country. In addition to the imprint, the other two are unusual novelties. The novelty is so new that all people who come to Thailand must go to see and look at it to prove that they have been here, and these two manifestations are very different to outsiders. Thailand has been successfully combined by one person, and it is called a legend, this person is Dong Baringa, and the movie "Beautiful Boxer" based on his (her) true story is the author thinks Thailand is the best one of the movies.

Thai films have always been in a very unique position, including the action movie "Fist Fighter", which once made a sensation in the world with its superb and hard-core moves, and "Love of Siam", which caused a small fresh storm in Asia, and "First Love". "Little Things", among which "Love of Siam" also officially attracted people's attention to gay movies, the ethical torture of the "Lady" series, the beauty is surprising, and the horror film series "Ghost Shadow", "Scared to Death" that dominate Asia , "Ghost Wife" and so on have created a Thai horror genre in horror films. Although these films are excellent and each has its own merits, there are not many films that really rely on pure Thai culture and have achieved success, because in the film industry and It is very difficult for an underdeveloped country to make long-lasting and thought-provoking films without the backing of its own local cultural heritage, and such films are often difficult to control, and accidentally become non-local. Pure literary films that people can't understand, Thai films also face the same problem, but "Beautiful Fighter" has done it, and it has done it very well.
Since the first time I watched this movie in 2004, I can say that I have watched it countless times. From the beginning, it was purely to watch Muay Thai, to the later culture, and finally to Thailand after living for many years before watching this movie. Only when I really understand the many elements of the movie itself and what it wants to express, a good movie is enough to watch for a few years, but a bad movie can’t be watched for two hours. For a layman like the author, this movie is real Good movie, he asked the author from the original mainland and Hong Kong film and television works to be the same for Thailand, and the unanimous "boxer, drug dealer, boss, policeman, etc. As long as he is a man, he is called Chachai, and the protagonist of the story comes to Thailand either to go to jail or to run away." The impression of the description of "Looking for the Boss" has been greatly improved. The opening of the film is unfolded in soft music, and the scene that follows is also very charming. From the not exaggerated and clear lines to the Muay Thai Apply medicated oil on the body and start massaging (Muay Thai fighters must undergo massage conditioning before the competition, fully move the joints to prevent sprains, and the medicated oil can prevent infection and protect the joints after the skin is scratched), to The woman with slender fingers smeared spices for herself, and the music also turned sharply, from the melodious sound of the violin to the sound of tight drums, the picture also changed to the scene of the boxer wrapping the bandage on the hand guard, and then back to the sound of the violin, The picture turns into a woman putting on stockings gently for herself, and the music continues to change, becoming the sound of the Java flute, one of the musical instruments in the Muay Thai competition. The boxer puts on the Muay Thai crotch guard, and the sound changes again. The woman's slender and tender fingers are red. Gloves, muay thai fighters also changed into muay thai pants, women put on their clothes, muay thai fighters fastened their armbands (the symbol of the muay thai genre and a deity) The music was soft after all, the women put on earrings for themselves, red lips proud People, self-confidence and self-rewarding, and the Muay Thai boxer was brought by the teacher with the "auspicious" MANGKUN (headband: the same as the symbol of the Muay Thai genre and the object of worship). In front of the mirror in the dressing room, a young boxer looked straight at him, his eyes were firm and clear, and the title of the film ended.

This is a scene that deeply shocked the author. The short two-minute title shows Thailand's process of wearing one's own accessories, from women and boxers, to one's rigidity, one softness, one literary and one martial arts, one yin and one yang, from women to boxers. In the film, the pictures, props and even the music all match each other well, explaining the original abstract image. This is due to the legend of the character prototype and the uniqueness of Thai culture. After the title, it is performed in a gay bar with a distinctive Thai style. At the beginning, he was dragged out of the environment where Dong Baringa worked. He had successfully transformed, but he still could not leave the stage under the spotlight. The male dance performance with Thai characteristics was also prepared for males, and the American reporter made a mistake at the beginning. The shemale is a very obvious dinosaur-level shemale (also known as the bull demon) in Thailand. When the reporter was attacked, Dong stepped forward to save it, which also implied the word redemption. We will see this theme in the whole film. , a question is thrown here, and it is also the most concerned question by most people, why there are ladyboys in Thailand, and why do you want to be a ladyboy? Whether it was due to the hype of the merchants or the incomprehension caused by cultural differences, for various reasons, there has been a phenomenon in China that has not dissipated yet. Most of the Thai beauties are ladyboys or ladyboys because their family was poor when they were young. The idea of ​​making money, the author was also deeply curious at first, but after understanding it, I found that shemales are a minority after all, and most of them have relatively obvious male characteristics except for a very small number of people who are difficult to identify. Among the shemales, the family conditions are superior. There are not a few people, and many people are also engaged in various jobs. As for why they want to be a ladyboy, it is difficult for Thais to give an exact answer. At this time, the film gives an answer that may satisfy everyone.

As Dong was interviewed by reporters, the legend of his life came out. Dong was born in a poor family in northern Thailand. Therefore, as in the movie, when he was a child and when he was growing up, he was the most popular among ordinary Thai people in temple fairs. Important entertainment celebrations were linked together, and it was also at that temple fair in memory that Dong vaguely saw "another self in his mind" (a little girl), and following the figure of the girl, he also saw it for the first time. When it comes to the things that will leave an important mark in his life, Muay Thai, geisha, and then back to the simple home, the elder sister and younger brother fry to eat chicken oil rice, the parents' shabby expressions reveal the hardships of life, and chicken oil Meal, this common home-cooked dish brought by immigrants from China's Hainan region was still considered a relatively luxurious meal in Thailand at that time, and even in the mountains of northern Thailand today. Because of his inner yearning since childhood, his playmates are all girls, like his mother expressing hope that he can have the same long hair as his mother, etc. This is also the initial life stage of many neutral or transgender people in Thailand. We can see that, This has nothing to do with poverty or status. It is not as rumored that he has to be a ladyboy in order to make a living. In the conversation between Dong's parents, Dong's father expressed his concern about Dong's future becoming a ladyboy, while Dong's mother chose to be tolerant. And from this leads to the most important part of Thai people's life - the theory of religious belief. Dong's mother said that if this is his own fate, then he has to finish it sooner or later...
When the mother found out that the person who bullied Dong was his relatives. After the younger brother, the mother also cried. She knew that maybe Dong could not escape this road. After punishing Dong again with anger, the mother began to compromise, hoping that Dong could take care of herself. According to the fixed customs in Thailand, every man needs to be in his life. One time to be ordained, under normal circumstances, 7 days is the most common, modern society tends to be impetuous, many men choose to be a monk for 3 days, and if they choose to be a monk for a month to a few months when they are young, they do not need to be a monk when they are adults. , Cultivation in a temple is the best way to test a person's perseverance and character. He also firmly believes that a monk can eliminate his own karma, obtain blessings, and can bring blessings to his parents. This is also the characteristic culture of Thailand's Buddhist country. The mountainous area of ​​northern Thailand is more convinced of this culture, so Dong's parents chose to let him become a monk to resolve Dong's karma and allow him to become a normal man.

Everything in the world is connected by fate. If a person has a good fate, whether it is marriage or popularity, it will be a matter of course and effortless. If the fate is not enough, then persistence will be empty. This is the truth of Buddhism. When the novice, the abbot of the temple warned everyone that as a monk, you must not have any evil thoughts, and it is even more forbidden for men to dress up as women. Parents will go to hell. One day, when Dong was playing with another little novice When talking about who he admires, the little novice imitates Zhan Zhao (Southeast Asia has a very deep martial arts plot, and the Chinese on both sides of the strait and three places were deeply influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts novels and martial arts movies, as were ordinary people in Thailand). And Dong still expressed his idea of ​​pursuing softness in his heart. Dong did not listen to the advice of the little novice, but secretly hid the lipstick... Soon after, Dong's mother was arrested by the police on the grounds that his house was a Built with mahogany, it is an illegal building, but misfortunes do not come singly. Dong’s father broke his leg while collecting medicine on the mountain. He had no money for treatment. Maybe it was destined. At this time, a ladyboy named Jenny helped Dong. Dong felt that he was violating the monk’s precepts. He hurt his parents, but Jenny's appearance seemed to tell him which direction he should go...

The most difficult part of monks' practice in Thailand is barefoot asceticism and lonely practice in the depths of forests and mountains. Dong follows the master. Begin barefoot asceticism. This boundless ascetic method is the best way to eliminate a person's karma, but if the karma cannot be eliminated, it is a predestined relationship.
"Wherever you go, there is a reason for it. Are you homesick?"
"Yes."
"You have been a monk for a long time, you can go back if you want. This road is not for everyone. "
Elder, if I do good deeds in this life, can I be the person I want to be in the next life?"
"If fate comes, maybe you can fulfill your wish in this life."

Dong knelt down and said goodbye to Master, and then jumped to his youthful life. He was still poor, and the focus of his life was still related to the temple fair. Dong's father took his younger brother to practice kicking the banana tree, in order to win in the temple fair boxing competition at night. Competition, get bonus (banana tree practice method is an ancient practice method of Muay Thai, in order to make the shin better adapt to the impact, and later replaced by heavy sandbags, so it was gradually eliminated, and Dong's younger brother did not have the money to fight Training in the gym can only be done in this relatively primitive way, and the lowest level of the Muay Thai competition in the temple fair, the prize money is about 500-1000 baht, in the era of the East Boys, it was about 500 baht. Northern Thailand at the time was a large amount). Dong secretly tried kicking after seeing it, and the banana tree broke. Later, in the temple fair boxing competition, his younger brother was unable to participate because of the disparity in weight, and Dong was temporarily replaced. Overwhelmed the opponent and unexpectedly won the game.

God's arrangement always makes people admire or feel helpless. Dong, who clearly yearns to become a woman, has the idea of ​​becoming a professional muay thai boxer because of unexpected boxing income. A typical muay thai gym in the northern mountainous area of ​​​​Thailand. , a row of tires, a few leaking sandbags, a large collective dormitory, which is the Thai country boxing gym, and it is also the most basic boxing gym configuration. The boxers eat and live together. The only fun is to watch TV, and then together Playful, after expressing his intentions, Dong had a very interesting conversation with the coach of the boxing gym.
"Don't want to kick again?"
"Don't."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"My brother wants to practice boxing."
"Don't you want to fight?"
"No, I'm afraid of pain."
"The real boxing is done. It won't hurt."
"Brother, do you think I have any hope of becoming a boxer?"
"Impossible."
"But I will train hard."
"Didn't you just say that you don't want to fight?"
"Brother, I heard them say that fighters get paid a lot for winning fights, is that true?"
"How old are you? What do you need so much money for?"
"Growing vegetables for mom."
"Well, 6 o'clock"
"What?"
"Why did you go deaf before punching? 6 o'clock!"
"Thank you Big brother!" In the
past, most of the Muay Thai boxers were poor families and had to do everything by themselves to make money to support their families. Now, although Thailand's economy has developed and people's lives have improved a lot, there are many players who read and box at the same time, but most of the boxers' The living conditions are still not optimistic. The boxing remuneration received by boxers varies according to the size of their fame, ranging from millions of baht to several thousand baht. Once a month, the monthly salary of a well-played boxer is far more than that of Thailand. The white-collar class, so despite the risk of injury, even internal injuries, blood in the urine, disfigurement, broken legs, etc., poor boys with ideals still go on this road one after another.
The boxing gym in the east is a traditional Thai boxing training gym with very pure training methods. Physical fitness, boxing, long-distance running, tire jumping, teeth lifting, wrestling, sandbag kicking, target kicking, reaction to actual combat in the ring, and excellent training. Boxers will be selected to focus on training ancient Muay Thai techniques. The Muay Thai techniques taught by ordinary Muay Thai gyms are modern in the ring Muay Thai techniques. They are simplified, precise, and have few movement techniques. Except for close-quarters fighting, ancient Muay Thai is rarely taught. The techniques that are not suitable for wearing gloves and fighting according to the rules are regarded as superfluous, but the boxing gym where Dong is in teaches them all. Little do they know that these techniques are the foundation of Muay Thai. After mastering them, you can refine your own proud skills. Doing more with less effort also paved the way for Dongri's future as a boxing champion.
At first, Dong couldn't adapt to the hard training life. Later, with the encouragement of his coach, Sister Bo, and his friend Jane, Dong began to change. In order to change his life and the life of his family, Dong tried his best to train. The reason why he likes dancing since he was a child is that his physical coordination is better than that of ordinary boxers. Therefore, after undergoing arduous basic training, Dong has mastered advanced techniques faster than other boxers. Soon, he stood out and represented the boxing gym. Participate in the competition.
In the days of the boxing gym, Dong met several people who had a great influence on him, such as Cai Ge, the teacher who taught him, Sister Bo, who always helped him to cover up his inner girl identity, Ana, the person he liked for the first time, and the back of the boxing gym. The boss, these four people affect Dong's life respectively. As Dong grows up slowly, his inner yearning for becoming a woman becomes stronger and stronger. He is not used to living with everyone and hopes to have an independent space, because Thinking that he is a girl, he still hides his make-up secretly, and is covered by Sister Po again and again. Sister Po is someone who really understands him, but Sister Po is only a nanny in the boxing gym and cannot give Dong much help. , The owner of the boxing gym is a very typical businessman, and he doesn't care about the poverty of some families in the boxing gym. , This is also one of the true portrayals of Thai boxers, good boxers can get more power, single room, higher boxing competition, the boss not only manages the food, but also allows the young boxers of the right age to go to school to study, but If you are not qualified to become a professional boxer, there is almost no hope of staying in the boxing gym. Brother Cai really wants to stay with Dong, but Dong's qualifications are not yet mature.
During this period, there are several very interesting passages worth mentioning. First of all, the brothers in the boxing gym took Dong to go to prostitutes. The temple fair and the beauty contest ended. Dong, as always, fantasized that he could become a beauty pageant on the stage. The champion, but the brothers insisted on taking him to the broken place, and also told the young lady to take good care of Dong. In the room, the young lady flirted and unbuttoned her shirt, and said to Dong that she wanted to see Dong's body, but Dong was terrifying. Staring at the lady's chest and saying, I don't have it yet, but one day I will have it, and the atmosphere immediately freezes. This is a common comedy scene in Thai movies, and it always makes you laugh.
Ana has been secretly subsidizing Dong, letting Dong train and live in the boxing gym. Everyone eats, lives and takes a bath. Because of his inner girl status, Dong often secretly takes a bath at night. On a hot night, Dong bathes alone. Ana suddenly came out, then complained about the heat, sneaked behind Dong and said that he had to do something that was usually difficult to do when there were many people. Dong mistakenly thought that he wanted to pick up soap~~ shyly said what he wanted to do and did it As a result, Ana started to sing out loud. It was this feeling that fascinated Dong. Ana talked to him, played guitar and sang together, and let Dong Fangfo fall in love, but then Ana left the gym and made a private appointment. When Dong met, he deceived Dong and made Dong lose to himself in the game. Dong felt very uncomfortable after knowing it, and fought with Ana in the rain until he knocked out Ana.
Dong started to put on makeup and came on stage because of an accident, which also came from a conversation between Sister Bo and Brother Cai. Brother Cai always complained that he had no boxers to fight Lunpini, and he couldn't stand the pressure from the boss of the boxing gym, and Sister Bo persuaded him Brother Cai, not everyone can fight Lumpini, it must be attractive, and boxers must have special qualities. Even a boxer as powerful as you, Brother Cai, can't go to Lumpini to fight, let alone others? Because of her excitement, the words she said hit Brother Cai deeply, and Brother Cai's eyes suddenly became angry...
Here Lumpinee refers to the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. , and Rajadumnern Stadium are also known as the two major boxing stadiums in Thailand. Once upon a time, these two major boxing stadiums were the dreams of many Muay Thai boxers. Boxing fans from all over the world, and the allusions to fame in the first battle, have made this place a place where many Muay Thai fighters have to fight with blood and sweat. To be able to board Lumpini was equivalent to becoming a national Muay Thai fighter at that time. , Possessing the identity and strength to be able to open a gym and teach apprentices, although today's Lumpini Boxing Stadium has become a place where rich boxing gyms can send players to participate, but in the East era, Lumpini Boxing Stadium must be Only famous players from all over Thailand can have the opportunity to compete. In Cai’s time, being able to go to Lumpini to fight was even more sensational. This is no less than the concept of an Olympic champion somewhere in China, and it is precisely because of this that Dong has a chance.
When Sister Bo took out the cosmetic set that Brother Cai bought for her and asked Dong to do her makeup, Dong's opportunity also came, as if fate was so ingenious. Although this set of cosmetics is very common, it is very beautiful to spend on Sister Bo's face. It looks good, Brother Cai is very happy to come back, but after seeing Dong himself putting on makeup, Brother Cai was suddenly stunned, and then he remembered what Sister Bo said, "You must have characteristics to go to Lunpini", so Brother Cai I took Dong with makeup to the boxing match. As expected, it attracted bursts of laughter from the audience, but Dong calmly defeated the opponent. The owner of the boxing gym also saw the business opportunity and supported Dong later to dress up as a shemale. Participating in the competition, Dong seems to have got his wish...
After becoming a special boxer in the boxing gym, Dong's life has changed. In the collective dormitory where he lives, everyone has vacated a place for him, and he can take a bath alone. He wears makeup and goes on stage in competitions, never disregarding the discrimination of his opponents, always defeating his opponents, kissing his opponent after his opponent is KO, the audience also likes him doing so, but just like his own inner monologue, "My kiss is not It's a show, but a real apology, because I don't like hurting others, but in the ring, I have no choice..." Dong's younger brother and father were very disgusted by his actions, although Dong was happy, she even won her own independent The room, but it still does not adapt to the changes in everyone's attitude towards him after he disclosed his inner orientation. This is also the process of degeneration of many similar people in Thailand.
Ana's incident was a big blow to Dong, because the two had a long talk all night, Ana's dream was to go to Lumpini to fight, and said that he would not fight fake boxing to make money (Muay Thai competitions are open, professional competitions You can bet on the first three rounds, so some boxers fight fake punches in order to get a share. Generally, this practice is despised because it ruins their future), but they lied to Dong on the grounds that their mother was seriously ill, and let Dong lose to him. He was greatly hurt, and Dong was depressed after the match. He couldn't let it go. He thought that he made a wrong choice. To be a boxer, he must hurt others. During a morning run, Dong saw the girl again. The difference is that Having grown into a young girl, this is his inner hint. Dong is dancing in the ring, practicing boxing, and then crying, struggling in his heart. He almost gave up...

Dong decided to give up his boxing career and become an ordinary person. When he was packing up, Brother Cai came in.
"I have something to tell eldest brother." Dong said timidly.
"I also have something to say to Dong." Brother Cai said with a smile, he saw Dong saluting under the bed.
"Next month, Dong, you can go to Lumpini to fight." Brother Cai said, looking at Dong who was hesitant to say anything.
An uncontrollable happy smile appeared on Dong's face, but he immediately restrained himself, and then he couldn't help laughing. The brothers from the boxing gym rushed in and cheered together. At the same time, Brother Cai was already overworked. , suffering from cancer, and fell to the ground...
It seems that there is always something lacking in Dong's life, as if his wishes have not been recognized by everyone. When he and the owner of the boxing gym came to the bustling Bangkok, they were faced with The reporter asked, Dong started to get nervous. Although the status of Muay Thai in Thailand is not the dominance of the battlefield, it is still a kind of spirit in the hearts of Thai people. Dong is the first case to become a famous muay thai boxer as a ladyboy, so many People think that his way of showing off is hurting the culture of Thailand, which also raises the question of how Thai people think about ladyboys. Nowadays, Thailand's views on ladyboys have matured a lot, and ladyboys are engaged in various professions. It is not uncommon for celebrities or businessmen to be famous in various industries, but in the eyes of Thailand at that time, Dong’s approach was still very advanced, but Dong expressed his wishes. I do it according to my true desire. If the competition goes well, I will first improve my family's life after winning the bonus, and then continue to earn money for sex reassignment surgery to realize my dream of being a woman.
Most ladyboys in Thailand do not have enough money to pay for sex reassignment surgery. It is their lifelong wish to be a woman. Even if they don’t have a lover, they are satisfied. They really identify themselves as girls in their hearts, and this is no exception. , At the pre-match weighing ceremony, Dong refused to take off his shorts to be weighed. You must know that according to regulations, boxers must be weighed naked to maintain fairness. , to withstand the pressure and not take off the shorts to weigh, this is also the performance of the shemales when they really think they are girls, and in the subsequent competition, the most beautiful scene was born, and that is the thing that is still talked about by the world's Muay Thai fans - - East's apprentice dance.
Prayer dance is a major feature of Muay Thai competition. This kind of dance similar to religious ceremony is not unique to Muay Thai. Classical martial arts of Southeast Asian nations have similar dances, which originated from the celebration dances of ancient warriors after their victory. Sacrifice to the gods of the four directions. The ring is sacred in traditional Muay Thai. There are gods in all four corners of the ring. The four sides kneel to worship the gods, thank the gods, and then imitate the actions of ancient warriors, or throw spears, or chop knives, or shoot arrows. At first, women were not allowed to touch the ring. If they were wearing a headband, they had to jump over the ring and could not bow their heads in. Later, female boxers also appeared in the professional arena, and gradually gave them to female boxers. In order to be more open-minded, it is allowed to worship the teacher dance, but it cannot have its own celebratory actions (archery, throwing guns, etc.). And Dong was the first to show it. Due to his identity, in addition to the traditional "Sifang Bai", Dong's apprentice dance was to imitate the action of an ancient girl putting on makeup for herself. It was called "beautiful looking in the mirror". The characteristic flute sound of the Java flute, the body dances very rhythmically, the apprentice dance can stabilize one's mind and open the body before the battle, and whoever dances better and more beautifully expresses more vigor With peace of mind and victory in hand, Dong's apprentice dance has become a classic, and it is still often mentioned by boxing fans around the world.
Dong won a big victory over his opponent in the later games. It is necessary to talk about the action scenes of this movie. Generally speaking, when making action movies in the arena fight category, we win by the plot. Why? Because there are rules and restrictions in arena fighting, and there are rules and restrictions, the moves that can be used are limited and relatively fixed, which is relatively boring for the majority of non martial arts fans, so most arena fighting movies pay great attention to depicting both sides. The facial expressions of boxers, and I like to use slow motion to describe the effect of one punch and one kick. In fact, this method is very easy to make the audience tired, because the same moves are always used repeatedly, no matter how to describe the face and heart of the audience. It's still boring and it looks very procrastinated, and the ring fight in "Beautiful King of Fighters" is very well shot. First of all, it doesn't procrastinate. The time of each match will not be long. The fighters are almost all attacking, and the boxer's attack will cooperate with each other. Thai boxing fans are very professional in the roars from the audience on stage Go, and strike rhythmically. After three consecutive strikes, a slow motion action is given. These movements are often jumping attacks or heavy strikes. Occasionally some performative strikes are added to give the audience a very good sense of substitution. Elbow strikes, knee strikes, and sweep kicks are all well presented in front of the audience. It has to be said that it is a masterpiece in the Thai arena fight movie!
When Dong excitedly called Sister Bo and told her that she had won the match, Sister Bo told him that Brother Cai died of cancer, and Dong suddenly seemed to have lost his backbone. Brother Cai took him to the road of boxing, walking Jin Lun Pini, and now that Cai is gone, Dong is very confused, and feels that he does not know what to do in the future. He began to take a lot of hormones, and his physical ability is not as good as day by day, and he can no longer compete with men in the ring. In the confrontation between the players, Dong began to hesitate, whether to give up boxing, but all the conditions for his success must be achieved by boxing, so there was the next World War in Japan.
Japan is estimated to be the country that welcomes Muay Thai boxers the most in the world. This is related to the martial arts complex in Japanese culture. The Japanese side specially selected a female wrestler for Dong and prepared a high bonus. After Dong arrived in Japan, it immediately triggered Japan. The social discussion even put out the slogan "the most beautiful man VS the ugliest strong woman". Dong was also insulted by Thai fans, saying that he polluted Muay Thai. Dong also understood in his heart that the current self is not completely acceptable to everyone. He still withstood the pressure to win the game, and the process was extremely difficult, especially when he recalled the part of Brother Cai, who said that the audience didn't see your skills, but how much makeup you put on your face! So when he returned to China, he was determined to realize his wish, to have sex reassignment surgery, to be a real woman, and his parents finally agreed with him.
The camera is changed to Dong after the interview, ready to take the bus to leave, on the platform, from the growth stage of Dong to the role he has played today, one by one, the interview sounded: "What do you think is the most difficult? To be a man or a woman?" Dong replied, "Being a man is difficult, but being a woman is even more difficult, but the most difficult thing is, don't forget what we want to be." Dong chose to face his heart and became the person he wanted to be. .
At the end of the film, Dong returned to his hometown of Chiang Mai and saw that there were local children imitating him with makeup and boxing. Dong was very emotional and told the child that what he did must come from his heart, but Dong suddenly saw in front of the mirror what he was doing as a boxer. Myself, this time Dongxin, who was already a daughter, appeared in his heart as a man. The man told him that he was leaving, but when he needed him, he would appear. Dong smiled relievedly, and the film ended... …
.Writing here, I don’t know if I will write any more films. "Beautiful Fighter" shocked me a lot and brought me a lot of thinking, and the real prototype of this film is still struggling in the arena. As one of the bishops of Fairtex, the largest Muay Thai club in Thailand, Dong Balingya still inherits the skills of Muay Thai. In the movie, the shemale technician who gave Dong facial treatment is played by herself. The author also has friends who follow Balingya. I have studied Muay Thai, and she is very happy now. She has not left Muay Thai, but has been guarding Muay Thai.
The star of the film, Asanee Suwan, is a professional Muay Thai boxer in Chiang Mai. He was very surprised that his performance in the film was very good, but later the star road was not smooth, and he played tricks in some Thai dramas. In the rising period of Thai movies, various reasons have created his performance, and after that, it is difficult for Thai movies to have good lyrics again.
Finally, let’s end with the theme song of the movie. The original soundtrack of the movie is also very good. The Thai classical style is the main style, and the modern pop music runs through it. It makes people very enjoyable to listen to. I hope everyone can enjoy this movie.

The theme song of the movie "Beautiful King of Fighters" "Where Are You From?"
I don't know where you came from, when you came, and entered my life.
It feels like you sent a ray of sunshine in and let me see my true appearance.
It feels like you walked into my heart and reinvented me, not like it used to be.
I don't know if I can stand it, what I'd be without you.
Give me a new life, not like it used to be.
